Public bug reported:
I'm using pre-shared keys to create a simple PTP VPN connection. My
server is running on windows XP, my client on XUbuntu 11.10.
I'm using the plugin to allow my XUbuntu machine to establish the
connection to the windows machine. I have the OpenVPN software installed
on the windows machine.
If I enable the server on windows, I can connect successfully to the
server and exchange data.
However, if I disable the server on the windows machine, and attempt to
create the VPN connection, I get the pop-up that states the VPN
connection has been established. In fact there is no VPN connection (as
the server is not accepting connections).
I therefore believe the plugin claims success too early - or it
reporting a certain status to network-manager is interpreted
incorrectly.
Here's a snippet from syslog (I've blanked out my IP addresses):
